How to use blockMesh to generate cylindrical T-junction
 

Hi Forums, I am new to OpenFOAM. I am struggling to use blockMesh to generate cylindrical T-junction geometry. Can anyone give clue or can post a simple blockMeshDict file that is two cylinder with same diameter then intersect to form a T-junction? Many thanks

Hi

I have tried to do it because this is also my problem but I am getting errors on this one. If you have done it already perhaps you can guide me,

Hi, my T-junction is formed by two cylinders, where the interface is not a arc which cannot be obtained by blockMesh. I just use GID to generate mesh and then import to OpenFOAM. Can you give a schematic illustration about your geometry and the location of each point? Best regards
